Public bug reported:
I have two keyboard layouts configured (USA/Dvorak and USA/Standard),
and I have Caps Lock set to a second Control key. When I upgraded to
8.04, I noticed Emacs behaving somewhat oddly; the most concrete
manifestation of this is that, if I start up XEmacs and hit the space
bar, I get messages like "(3) (key-mapping/warning) XEmacs: Caps_Lock
(0x42) generates ModControl, which is nonsensical. (4) (key-
mapping/warning) XEmacs: Control_L (0x42) generates ModLock, which is
nonsensical."
Doing 'xmodmap -pm', I see, among other things:
lock Control_L (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_L (0x42), Control_R (0x6d)
So Control_L is indeed mapped to two different modifiers.
If I remove one of the keyboard layouts, the entry in the 'lock' row
disappears.
At first, I thought this was Bug 173350 (which I'm also seeing), but it
isn't: I get the Caps Lock light toggling state even if I only have a
single keyboard layout, whereas the behavior in this bug depends on
having multiple keyboard layouts.
I'm using Ubuntu 8.04, x86_64. This didn't happen with previous Ubuntu
versions.
